Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

49 – Sleeping Dragon in the Forest (2)

The Magic Tower of Pisa.

In the past, it was called one of the top 3 magic towers and it was a popular magic tower, but now it was a humble place with no pupils.

There, the old man packed up magic books and artifacts and put them in his infinite pocket.

At that time, the space was distorted.

Hugo, Lord of the Magic Tower, trembled in fear and lowered her head.

Then someone came out with black smoke.

Dreuk- Dreuk.

An eerie sound of grinding steel.

Hugo did not dare to raise his head and knelt down on one knee.

“Ke, Mr. Chiron. Are you here?”

[Is things going well, Hugo.]

“… This is the last step. Now all you have to do is activate the magic circle.”

[The owner has high expectations of you.]

Chiron was wearing a helmet.

There was only ominous black smoke, but Hugo felt that he was glaring at him.

Gulp-

Hugo swallowed and sat down even lower.

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

[Yes, keep that in mind.]

Chiron’s body crumbled.

Just like when it appeared, black smoke blew through the air.

[And be sure to bring back the Holy Relic, the Cup of Magical Power.]

Only a faint voice remained.

Long after Chiron disappeared, Hugo couldn’t lift his head.

After a very long time passed, Hugo got up.

From noble mtl dot com

“Finally, you can reach the heights.”

His face, full of freckles, was strangely distorted. It was a smile of joy.

“The last child had quite a bit of magical power. Dragging.”

“Kang.”

“?”

Suddenly, the cry of a fox was heard.

The door of the magic tower opened.

An arctic fox with white fur raised one of his hands.

“Hello.”

“… ?”

Hugo fell backwards in surprise.

“Woah, the fox is talking.”

“Are you surprised by that?”

Miho stood up.

Soon after, it glowed white, and when the light stopped, a lovely blue-haired girl was smiling.

“Hey, kid.”

Miho put his hands on his knees and bent his waist.

“I don’t care what you do.”

It was still a lovely smile.

However, his expression instantly changed to that of a demon.

“Don’t wake Lord Ruid from his sleep.”

**

Ruid came to the academy after a long time.

No, it’s been a long time since he’s been in trouble.

It’s been less than a month since he left the academy.

“Hercy.”

“Yes, yes!”

Hersie, who was studying, struggled and hid behind something.

Ruid tilted his head.

“Huh? What about the fox?”

“Ah… Now, let’s go somewhere to drink… “

hehehe, Hersy scratched the side of his head.

“That, it’s been a really long time since you came. Is it because of a recent incident?”

“Yes.”

Ruid was suspicious of Hercy, but he decided not to mess with it.

Ruid sat down on her desk and looked around. It is a quiet classroom.

“Is this an extra class classroom? It’s my first time here.”

“That’s because Ruid doesn’t attend classes… It was held in the auditorium during the magic briefing.”

School has its own unique romance.

Things that can only be experienced at this age.

Ruid didn’t know that either.

‘Shouldn’t I have gone out?’

Wouldn’t it be fun to experience it? Ruid cut that thought short, but she was still bothered by it. It’s fun during break time, because it’ll be boring during class.

“Because I am a slacker.”

“… What is the limit?”

“A person who lives leisurely without an official position.”

Ruid got down from her desk.

This is probably the first time you’ve heard of it. Hallyang is a word that existed in the Joseon Dynasty.

She thought that nothing could describe herself more accurately than that word.

An unemployed person with a high status.

However, there is a limit to the amount of work.

It’s plants that really do nothing and stay still, not idle.

What is a true limit? ….

Making the people around you think, “It’s okay for him.”

Ruid stared at Hercy.

“Tell the president.”

So, it was a plus to be active once in a while.

“Help me only this once-“

Ruid put his hands in her pockets and left the classroom.

**

On the way to the Tower of Pisa.

I ran into Damon sitting on a large rock and looking up at the sky.

“You don’t have to be so shy.”

“What are you doing?”

“I was having a conversation with a people who pay me respect.”

What Damon was looking at was the sun.

Ruid ignored it and passed by.

There is nothing good about getting involved with a crazy person.

“Wait-“

Damon looked over at Louis with her arrogant eyes.

“Go with me.”

“Know where you are going.”

“Weren’t you going to catch a boat?”

Pissik, Damon raised an eyebrow.

“I was just bored.”

“I’m not your go-to.”

Black magic is magic with the sole purpose of killing.

Basically, the foundation is different from the white magic for the development of mankind.

If a black mage of the same rank and an ordinary mage match, the black mage wins by a landslide.

In other words, it was dangerous.

Ruid didn’t have the confidence to fight while protecting someone.

“That’s a cheeky answer, Louis Christopher.”

“You must have been less scolded by His Majesty.”

Ruid looked at Damon with cold eyes.

“It’s not like that. I’m going to take a nap, so don’t follow me.”

Louise tried to move her steps roughly.

By the way-

“Are you going to the Tower of Pisa? Louis Christopher.”

“…… !”

Ruid opened her eyes wide and looked at Damon.

Damon shrugged his shoulders and came down from the rock.

“It’s troublesome to underestimate the intelligence of the imperial family. Since it was the Windsor family’s responsibility, I was forgiving the ruffian who dared to cross the borders of this body.”

Damon put his hand in his pocket.

“Windsor deserves the respect he deserves.”

“If possible, how about continuing to show respect?”

“It’s difficult. Rival. Shouldn’t it be worth the wait?”

Damon strode towards Ruid.

“I was putting up with a nasty crawling bug – I guess I have a right to watch it being mashed.”

Ruid knew that Damon had a personality that he couldn’t understand through words.

‘… Well, whether they follow me or not.’

Because he had no reason to stop.

It’s dangerous, but…….

“Even if you get hurt, it’s not my fault.”

“Hey, if you get bitten by an insect, it’s definitely my fault, so why is it your fault?”

“Okay then. Instead, quietly follow me.”

“By the way, Louis Christopher.”

Ruid stared at me with a questioning face this time.

Damon said with a triumphant face.

“I guess you didn’t know? The place where Nia Ryan is imprisoned is not the Mage’s Tower of Pisa… “

Damon pointed his finger high in the sky.

A place where you can’t see the end of how high it is.

A skyscraper that is hard to see properly because of the sunlight.

It was also the place I went to once when I was frosting the feathers of a phoenix.

“It is on top of the skyscraper.”

“… Uh?”

“If you want to hide a tree, hiding it in the forest is the standard. Isn’t it?”

‘It can’t be.’

As far as Ruid knows, Hugo is the lord of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The Tower of Pisa was on the verge of extinction because of the lowly talent of a master of magic.

That was the reason he became a warlock.

So he kidnaps Nia Ryan and conducts research.

The purpose is to use the 5th magic, , Which was lost at the Tower of Pisa.

It was a magic that used a medium to summon the soul of a hero who had died in the past.

Nia Ryan was the perfect test subject for that.

So, of course, the experiment was conducted at the Magic Tower in Pisa.

“… Are you certain?”

“I know the thoughts of bugs best. After all, observation is my hobby.”

“It’s a guess.”

“Could you call me confidence?”

Damon said with serious eyes.

“I have never been wrong.”

‘Damon isn’t the kind to say things without any grounds.’

Although his mind seems strange, he was the chosen prince.

It is not possible for anyone to become the head of Kairos just because he inherited imperial blood.

‘Should I believe it?’

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was a little far away.

It wouldn’t hurt to check before going.

Ruid headed for the skyscraper.

**

Above the skyscraper.

There should be a phoenix at the very end, but for some reason, the phoenix was not even visible.

Instead, the disgusting smell of black magic filled the skyscraper.

After holding back disgust and following the smell, I saw an iron cage.

“It really is.”

Ruid crouched down in front of the bars.

“You collected a lot.”

Damon looked inside the cage with a cold gaze.

There was a large crowd of young children.

Maybe they didn’t even give them food, with their puckered faces.

Nia Ryan was there too. She was slumped in the corner with her academy robe on.

Louis held out her hand.

Crunchy-!

The iron bars collapsed in an instant, leaving ample space.

“Damon. Can I ask for post-processing? I’ll go after the culprit. He must have been here just now.”

“Leave it to me. Take care of everything, then follow me.”

“No, don’t come.”

“… ….”

There was a world of difference between just listening to the story and seeing it with your own two eyes.

No children have yet died. But it was easy for her to think that she would have suffered the pain she would be better off dead.

Traces of foam on the corners of the mouth, scars that look like scratches.

Above all, the mana of life that was barely left.

A wizard named Hugo intended to exploit children’s magic for as long as possible.

‘I don’t know how much magic I’ve gained from doing such an ugly thing.’

Ruid’s blue eyes burned as he looked at the talented children.

“Probably, it will be a little difficult to control the strength.”

Ruid was a little angry.
